I asked Gagliardo how he feels about his chances this fall.
"We're gonna win because we're gonna bring everybody under our umbrella. Our new color is purple, which means everybody's included, Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, everybody," said Gagliardo.
He and his team celebrated their win at the Republican Headquarters on Maple Road.
"16,000 homes, that's how many homes I'm gonna go to this campaign. I'm gonna start walking right after this," said Gagliardo.
He has focused his campaign on five things: fiscal responsibility, transparency, public safety, and essential services.
